Five Things

April 29th, 2011

{Miniature flags that line the fence for our party}

After a week of major deadlines, I’m ready for a carefree weekend filled with fun festivities. This morning I woke up early, bought some British-inspired pastries and curled up on my couch to watch the royal wedding. We’re holding our (slightly early) Cinco de Mayo party tomorrow and I can’t wait. We’ve been trying out different margarita recipes and so far, my favorite variation is made with grapefruit juice and balanced by some lime simple syrup. Luckily it’s supposed to be in the high 70s all weekend, so I couldn’t ask for anything else.

{New Gap shoes that feel prim and polished; love the little bows!}

{Lately I’ve been wearing nothing but a swipe of bright lipstick}

{Homemade grapefruit margaritas; a crisp take on a classic}

{Vintage clutches that are petite and sturdy; such a refreshing change}

    OMG, those margaritas look amazing! I’m from New Mexico so margarita is my middle name! I’ll share my recipe, it’s my favorite out of all the margs I’ve ever tried, and trust me, that”s a lot!
    put the following in a blender:
    1 c. 1800 margarita mix
    1/2 c. souza gold tequila
    cup or so of ice
    blend
    the consistency should be liquidy not frozen– pour over ice in a glass & top with a splash of Countreau. Enjoy! :-)

    These vintage clutches are A D O R A B L E!!! There’s this one girl who was bragging about her vintage clutches… but her’s looked nothing like yours they looked like they were about $1 and so cheaply made nothing vintage about that~don’t you hate it when unstylish people think that they’re stylish that is one of my pet peeves!!
    THanks Emily!!
